Must admit I subscribe to the vandalism point of view but hafta say this shot really blends the graffiti in an almost endearing way. And, of course, the toeing helps to further merge.

Superb composition! Great timing to catch that lady just ahead of the child in graffiti.

I tend to agree that it is vandalism, but it is fascinating none the less.

I lkie the shot. Not all Grafitti is vandalism, some is unofficial art and very good. Is it vandalism if it is good, or grafitti if unoffocial?

Nicely composed, what is art or not, I have seen very nice works that I don't know if they fall in the category of graffiti or vandalism, I rather consider them good interventions for the urban space, putting a bit of spice in what is usually a monotonous scene!
